A "great" skyblock community?

Topic: A "great" skyblock community?
Leaving players out? I say NO.

• Now before you rate this entire post disagree or dumb, think about this. Meaning:

- What if you're not a donator?
- What if you're getting not accepted? How would you feel?
- Do you think the people like being bullied? If this even is still a game, a soul won't forget it. It will feel bad, like it did something wrong
- Well, if you're smart, more reasons will come into you're head.​

• This has 100% happened to over 10 people I knew/know. This is for net and not org Also, rating this post "dumb/disagree/dislike" won't give you anything. I care about this more than my ratings. If you rate this something, please comment bellow why you agree/disagree. Seriously, giving a bad rating only won't get you anywhere. This thread counts on expierience too. Some people have seen this a lot, some people say this never happened, and some people say it sometimes happens.

• I always see people saying a "loving/great/friendly/awesome skyblock community". Now I just noticed: The community doesn't accept some people. I've seen around 3 people leave because they weren't accepted by the community, or I've seen some just be really sad. I'm talking about donors here. This is a king od bullying? I mean yes, if the person is an entire noob it's ok (Like constantly griefing, swearing, being rude, etc.) but I've seen people get disliked because they are different. Of course, if the player doesn't talk much, or doesn't want to be a part, he shouldn't have need to be accepted This should stop, if this is a great community. This has and is happened/ing, I know several cases. Non-donors get this feeling all the time. If you would read the posts bellow, you understand.

What the community is now:
A big blob of donators that stick to each other and talk, leaving some people out. People call non-donors "greenbeans". What the hell is that? They're no beans?

What it should be:
Everyone gets accepted, (doesn't mean you have to like everyone) and the entire skyblock is one community except the people that don't want too. Shouldn't we just accept non-donors? (Taking this out of Urr_Hi 's post) They haven't got any money to donate. So what? They have the same rights as we have. A non-donor can be famous. It's his choice. He could report rude donators. Yes, I know. But if they don't then they're doomed because they always get "swear word off" ed by donators. As for donators, we should let them into the community. They may be noobs, they may be 9, they may not be funny, but so what?
Once again, the skyblock community be all donators except if some don't want too, and some non-donors.

Oh, and read the the comments bellow. People say some great stuff in there. Not including it all into thread but some here:

Special posts I would like to mention that make much sense/are an example. Not saying other posts are bad, but these hold reasons/things that happened to those that don't think this exists:

 

I Agree we need to all make the effort to welcome and help the new comunity

 

I agree with the point you are making.
Yes, that people get left out should not be the case in this community, and yes, I have seen donators leave out non-donators, which makes me sad. In the perfect communty, everyone is let into the community and there is no disrespect and innapropiet content. However, there is no such community, and there probably never will.
The Skyblock community is a great community, in my opinion, and even though it's not perfect, I believe no community can.

 

I'm not sure which server you're talking about, or perhaps all of them? Anyway, I'm mainly on org.

Something was called to my attention today, and I wasn't really sure how to deal with it. We were talking in chat, messing around, making jokes and that sort. I got a message from someone, who I won't name so as not to embarrass them at all... but the message basically said that they wanted to join in on the conversation, but didn't want to get in the way. Of course I encouraged them to join in and tried to draw them into the conversation, but it made me wonder... how many others?

It's really easy to feel left out when there's people who already know each other talking, but if they don't post anything that anyone's able to respond to it's hard to include them. I'm certainly not saying it's their fault or that this is always the case, just that this is what was brought to my attention today.

I try to be inclusive anyway, and please, if I've ever made or am making someone feel left out, by all means, msg me and chew me out over it. It's never something I would do on purpose, just that sometimes people need a nudge to see what they're really doing.

 

I was talking about .net, but just thinking? Why not org? It seems like it has same cases.

 

I agree with this 100%

 

Gosh, I hate that happening, the prefix makes absolutely no difference in person, I feel bad for the non-donors who try hard to get accepted and meet new donors, and when they get straight denied it just.. makes me sad. Gladly I haven't seen that happen too often. I wish more people would understand, that we stay who we are, no matter if we donated 250$ or 0$ to the server.

 

I agree with what you are saying, and I'd like the community to be like this. I think the community can become better and more friendly to all players, however I don't think it can become perfect.

 

Well, nothing is ever perfect.

 

I am :3

 

This happens.
However, there is no way to change this. Why?
1. People are mean. No way to stop this. It's just the world.
2. No community is perfect.

 

I so want to give you a disagree :3

 

Come at me then

 

Wait, wait, I got this!

 

Some people are mean, but some people may just not realize they're doing it. Sometimes it's a subconscious choice instead of one that they realize they're making. If we can draw it out, they maybe be able to recognize their own behaviour and adjust it if they so choose.

And while nothing is ever perfect (not even Chris ), don't we all still strive for perfection? And isn't it always the case of, "Nothing is perfect, so there is always something to improve"?

 

Yeah, I get your point. However, nothing will ever be perfect. :/
But there is always room to improve, never said there wasn't.

 

I agree, however every person can make a change in themselves, what leads to community becoming a better place

 

I know that, however some people are being rude for the Hell of it. Not everyone wants to change, sadly. It's a cruel world we live in

 

It's true. But those people usually don't have any regard for the rules anyway and end up getting themselves banned.

 

I only judge people for their behavior, and the reason behind it.
